The kids aren't alright

In our new paper in @ScienceMagazine and acompanying @save_children report, we uncover the strong intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes 🧵 1/n

[SPARCCLE @SPARCCLE_EU]

Previous work by SPARCCLE researchers highlighted the increased exposure of younger generations to hazards like heatwaves, drought, wildfires and more - work that will be extended in the SPARCCLE project.
This #WorldChildrensDay, let’s act for a climate-resilient future for all.

Very excited to start my PhD funded by @FWOVlaanderen at @VUBrussel under the supervision of @WimThiery in the amazing @hydr_vub department.

[Wim Thiery @WimThiery]

Global burned area can be increasingly explained by climate change. Our new study on wildfire attributions made it to the cover of @NatureClimate. Congrats to joint lead authors Chantelle Burton (@MetOffice_Sci) & @SeppeLampe (@hydr_vub)

In our new paper in @NatureClimate co-led by Chantelle Burton (@MetOffice_Sci) and @SeppeLampe (@VUBrussel), we show that global burned area patterns are increasingly explained by climate change. 🧵

Nice @CarbonBrief piece by @AyeshaTandon explaining our paper: https://t.co/bJ3tdlG7Wx

[Wim Thiery @WimThiery]

A big welcome to @chrisroadmap and @AmauryLaridon, thrilled to have you both joining the bclimate group @hydr_vub !

[Chris Smith 🇪🇺 @chrisroadmap]

Hey everyone - that's right - totally thrilled to be in Brussels with a great team and really cool science!

Another year, another climate gap. 🌍🔥🌡️

It's the 15th time I joined the lead author team of the @UNEP #Emissionsgap report.

How high are global emissions?
What have countries pledged?
And is this all aligned with the Paris Agreement?

Let’s dig in with a 🧵/1

[Terzake @terzaketv]

"Elke dag waarop we wachten, elk uitstel betekent eigenlijk dat we het mes dieper in de wonde duwen. Opwarming voorbij de anderhalve graad zal waarschijnlijk zorgen voor een stijging van de zeespiegel van 10 meter."
